• Abstract: There has recently been great progress in automatic segmentation of medical images with deep learning algorithms. In most works observer variation is acknowledged to be a problem as it makes training data heterogeneous but so far no attempts have been made to explicitly capture this variation. Here, we propose an approach capable of mimicking different styles of segmentation, which potentially can improve quality and clinical acceptance of automatic segmentation methods. In this work, instead of training one neural network on all available data, we train several neural networks on subgroups of data belonging to different segmentation variations separately. Because a priori it may be unclear what styles of segmentation exist in the data and because different styles do not necessarily map one-on-one to different observers, the subgroups should be automatically determined. We achieve this by searching for the best data partition with a genetic algorithm. Therefore, each network can learn a specific style of segmentation from grouped training data. We provide proof of principle results for open-sourced prostate segmentation MRI data with simulated observer variations. Our approach provides an improvement of up to 23% (depending on simulated variations) in terms of Dice and surface Dice coefficients compared to one network trained on all data.

  Quantifying axon and myelin properties in histology images can provide useful information about microstructural changes caused by neurodegenerative diseases. Advances in deep learning have made this task quick and reliable with minimal overhead, but a deep learning model trained by one research group will hardly ever be usable by other groups. There is a pressing need to make AI accessible to researchers to facilitate and accelerate their workflow, but publicly available models are scarce and poorly maintained. Our approach is to aggregate data from multiple imaging modalities to create an open-source, durable tool for axon and myelin segmentation.

• Explainable Semantic Medical Image Segmentation with Style [7.074258860680265]
  We propose a fully supervised generative framework that can achieve generalisable segmentation with only limited labelled data. The proposed approach creates medical image style paired with a segmentation task driven discriminator incorporating end-to-end adversarial training. Experiments on a fully semantic, publicly available pelvis dataset demonstrated that our method is more generalisable to shifts than other state-of-the-art methods.

  Heterogeneity in medical imaging data is often tackled, in the context of machine learning, using domain invariance. This paper instead embraces the heterogeneity and treats it as a multi-task learning problem. We show that this approach improves classification accuracy by 5-30 % across different datasets on the main classification tasks.
